In a rare show of solidarity, Governor OÆMalley and Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot have sent the Towson University President a message.

Both want Maravene Loeschke to come to Annapolis to explain how her schoolÆs baseball and soccer teams were eliminated. And, in the meantime, they are both refusing to vote on Towson UniversityÆs planned construction of a building on the Harford Community College campus.

Loeschke confirmed to WBAL News that she is planning to meet with the two officials. She added that she was suprised by the request from the Governor and Comptroller.

Earlier this month, President Loeschke talked to a hastily called meeting of the menÆs baseball and soccer teams and told the players the sports were being eliminated.According to reports, she walked into the meeting with uniformed police officers, delivered the message and left without taking any questions.

Bryan Sears, editor of The Patch, says the Governor and Comptroller agreed to delay the construction vote during todayÆs Board of Public Works meeting. Read Bryan's story.

Governor OÆMalley said that if the decision was announced the way it was reported than it was ôpretty outrageous.ö

He wants President Loeschke to come to Annapolis to tell him how they really told the players according to Sears.
